$$+x$$ direction

Question 7

In the vacuum of space, which statement correctly compares the energies and speeds of an infrared photon to a visible photon?

Accepted Answer

The visible photon is more energetic, and they have the same speed.

Question 8

A loop of wire is placed in a region where the magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of the loop and is increasing. According to Lenz's Law, what is the direction of the induced current?

Accepted Answer

The current will flow to produce a magnetic field opposing the increase.
